As we’ve all seen Tāmaki Makaurau has suffered massive devastation after the floods a few weeks ago with the good people of the north being heavily affected with some losing their homes & entire livelihood’s including lots of dear friends & whanau of The Big Fresh Collective - We turned to local artists & businesses to donate a bit of their time and support to a great cause in order to raise some funds for those in need ❤

Footmahi For Tāmaki Makaurau is a non for profit, Footwork & Juke inspired compilation album where artists from all over Aotearoa & the rest of the world have donated tracks in support of The Victims of the recent floods and the people of Tāmaki Makaurau.

The compilation is centered around raising money for the victims of the floods and also restoring a bit of love and happiness back through the way we know best; with good music!

Created on a $0 budget with tracks donated from acclaimed artists locally and abroad; The compilation will be available under a name-your-own-price deal on Bandcamp which means you get to choose how much you want to donate towards the cause and you receive a high-quality download of the album - 100% of profits will be going directly to The Auckland City Mission  ❤

Huge aroha going out to all the artists involved who donated their time and to Nuance for mastering this project in it's entirety with an extremely quick turnaround in the aftermath of the flooding & the literal midst of Cyclone Gabriel - dude is as an absolute rockstar look him up on instagram under @nuance_nz for all your mixing & mastering needs ❤

RIP RASHAD X RIP TOTEMZ

Exploring the contrasting worlds of sound through an abstract approach that blends improvisation, field recordings, and live electronics. Transcending classical background, employing graphical notation that confronts conventional approaches in music. By integrating graphics, electronic equipment with traditional instruments, experimenting with meaning-creation, pushing the limits between sound and space to achieve abstract live musical forms.
